English: This is a superb 1855 map of London and the immediate vicinity. Includes parts of Surrey, Kent, Middlesex and Essex. Extends north to Southgate, east to Chadwell Heath, south to Kingston, Mitcham and Bromley, and west to Harrow and Isleworth - on a scale of 5/8 of an inch to the mile. The whole is beautifully detailed to the level of individual buildings, trees, canals and roads. Includes topographical details as well as farms, parks, riverways, and swamps. This is most likely the first map of London to appear in an American atlas. Represents map no. 4 in the 1855 edition of Colton's Atlas Of The World. Published from Colton’s 172 William Str. Office in New York.
